Trip to Texas

While visiting in Texas this time I took a look at houses for sale. There were some cute ones and I got really excited over one in particular. Unfortunately it was just out of reach of my budget. But my sister and I had fun making Bonnie's Maverick Stars http://quiltville.com/maverickstars.shtml. We incorporated her idea of framing the squares that she used in Scrappy Happy Houses and applied to our stars. http://quiltville.com/happyscrappyhouses.shtml

Now we will each work on putting the squares together and see what we each come up with! Here are my stars so far, some are not yet trimmed square.

Tom's finished kitchen

this is a beautiful remodeling job, I'm really proud of their hard work. After refinishing the cupboards and installing tile floor in the kitchen, they removed that junk on ceilings, painted ceiling and walls, installed new lights in kitchen and dining room. Then installed Pergo flooring in dining room, new baseboard trim, new window covering in both rooms. Also new dishwasher. Really gorgeous.
